Off-Beat Cops

Japan 2022 | 119 minutes | Japanese | Hebrew subtitles

Tsukasa Naruse is a tough veteran detective. His methods of bending the rules and roughing up the suspects are doubtful at best. After one too many incidents, he transfers to the police musical band. The cinema of Eiji Uchida developed through various darker genres, and in Off-Beat Cops, he blends two plot templates – the detective and the musical. He does not miss any writer trick and uses swift camerawork and Hiroshi Abe’s magnificent presence to present this delightful comedy.
